Flux of dimethylsulfide from the oceans: A comparison of updated data sets and flux models

摘要: Estimates of the fluxes dimethylsulfide (DMS) from global oceans are calculated using parameterizations Lisps and Merlivat [1986], Wanninkhof [1992], Erickson [1993]; wind fields Trenberth et al. [1989], da Silva Young [1994], Gibson [1996]; maps sea surface DMS concentration Kettle [1999]. The Liss [1993] gave oceanic approximately 15, 33, 21 Tg S yr−1, respectively. different data sets for speed, temperature, resulted in relatively small variations these (≤25%). large uncertainty flux models prevents estimation with an error limit better than about 50%. Interannual variation speeds temperatures 15-year European Centre Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Reanalysis Project results interannual 10%. Possibly, there is greater due to fields, which was not taken into account.
